IO Accelerator Mezzanine Card Customer Self Repair Instructions

Before you begin

CAUTION:

When handling system components, there is a danger to equipment from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use proper anti-static protection at all times:

• Keep the replacement component in the ESD bag until needed.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an unpainted surface

of the chassis.

• If an ESD wrist strap is unavailable, touch an unpainted surface

of the chassis before handling the component.

• Never touch connector pins.

CAUTION:

Be sure the replacement is available before removing the failed component. Removing a component impacts airflow and cooling within the enclosure.

Figure 1 mezzanine card removal

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the server blade, apply pressure over the mezzanine connector when installing the mezzanine card. Do not apply pressure to the edges of the card.

To install the replacement component, reverse the removal procedure.

Verifying component status

After installing the new IO Accelerator mezzanine card, check the system logs and fio-status utility to make sure the device was installed properly. In addition, the fio-pci-check utility should show that it has 1000 MB/sec of bandwidth available to each mezzanine card. If it only shows 500 MB/sec or less, you may not have seated the card properly. Remove the card and re-install using the instructions above.

Returning the failed component

Follow instructions shipped with the replacement part.
